Chicken breast recipes
 

I am looking for some new recipes to try ; using frozen chicken breasts. What are your favorites? NOT spicy.

A quick last minute meal for a crowd

An easy meal in about 45 minutes or less with frozen Chicken breasts is:
Make Guacamole first, see recipe below. Chill in fridge while preparing rest of the meal.
Place the amount of chicken breasts in a pan.
Pour some mild salsa (we like Herdez salsa).
Cook for about 25 minutes or until chicken is done.
Make some Mexican rice (Rice-o-Roni brand is what I use)
Heat some tortillas, place in a warmer. (see link below)
Refried beans are optional.
A small salad of lettuce and chopped tomatoes for a little freshness.

Chipolte's Guacamole recipe:

2 large avocados, halved and pitted
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/2 jalapeño pepper, including seeds, finely chopped


tortilla warmer:

Well that looks like it would be great for my DH. My go to chicken breast meal are breasts cut in half across the middle, each half is cut into 3 kinda strips. Done in Shake & bake. Baked till done. Served with fries & plum dipping sauce. So good & totally complicated (grin).

I've used 3 or 4 from Hellmans. The one tonight was with light soy sauce, ginger, onion, and bread crumbs. I got mine from a newspaper but I would think they would be on their website . First time I had tried the Asian one tonight and we really enjoyed it.

I do a 9x13 inch [an a cup or so of white rice, chicken broth garlic powder, celery chopped and baby carrots, add the Chicken Breasts on top add salt pepper garlic power or favorite seasoning pour ranch dressing over Chicken add shredded cheese cover with foil and bake about 400 for an hour and 15 minutes or till rices is done. We all love this.

oops this was a double post won't delete!

I've been baking chicken meals in foil (lots of ideas on Pinterest). The one we had recently: on heavy foil put cut breast (each one in 3 pieces), potatoes - either red potatoes cut into quarters or baking potatoes cut into thick pieces, green beans. Sprinkle with dry italian or greek salad dressing packet. Dot with butter and drizzle with olive oil. Seal up foil. Bake at 350 for about 45 min. If you have more than a couple breasts, use additional seasoning and bake 60 minutes.

trying to remember..it's been awhile.....I usually fresh breasts......spray small oval pyrex dish, place chicken in dish, cover with sauerkraut, drained, swiss cheese and top with thousand island dressing....
I pre-prep my breast so only need to bake about 25 minutes, I believe it was 325 or 350
told you it's been await...........it's worth a try if you like reuben.

I absolutely love the Chicken and Mushroom Casserole recipe on NatashasKitchen. I think there is a video also but it's pretty easy to make.

Here is a recipe that gets raves....it takes 1 pint raw chicken tenders
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup Pepperidge Farm stuffing
1/2 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup melted butter

Blend 1st 7 ingredients in a blender. Dip chicken in the melted butter and rolled in the cheesy mix. Bake in convection oven for 10-15 minutes in preheated oven at 400-415 degrees. Do not over bake or they will be dry.

Hope your family enjoys the change!

Wow - some good recipes to try. Thanks!

Simple but ooooo so good is:
1 bottle of Italian dressing
Good amount of chicken parts ( could be all breasts or tenders or cut ups)
Bake for 40 min or so....whole house smells wonderfully!
You can put in about 1/2 c of water to cover it up better

We really love this one called Swiss Chicken Bake:

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
sprinkle of both seasoned salt and black pepper
6 slices of Swiss cheese
1 (10 3/4 oz) can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup milk
3 cups herb seasoned stuffing mix, dry (do not use preparation directions)
1/2 cup ( 1 stick) butter, melted

Arrange the chicken breasts in a 9"x 13" baking dish that has been sprayed well with nonstick spray. Sprinkle each breast with just a little seasoned salt & black pepper. Lay a slice of Swiss cheese over each chicken breast.

Mix the soup with the 1/2 cup milk and pour over the chicken. Sprinkle the top evenly with the stuffing mix. Drizzle the stuffing evenly with the melted butter. Cover tightly with foil and bake in a 350* F oven for 50 minutes. Uncover and allow to brown just a little for about 8 - 10 minutes.

Here is another favourite:

Pesto Olive Chicken - 4 servings

4 chicken breast halves
1/2 cup prepared pesto
9 oz drained sliced mushrooms
4 ½ oz chopped ripe olives
1 cup shredded provolone cheese

Preheat oven to 400*F; flatten chicken breasts & place in a 13"x 9" pan. Pour pesto over them... then the mushrooms and olives. Bake for 15 minutes.

Sprinkle with the cheese and bake until bubbly. (1 -2 minutes)

Another favourite that you can look up because it is too long to type ;) is called Aussie Chicken on the Allrecipes site.... it has bacon slices with it.... yummy!

We eat chicken OFTEN and I'm always interested in new recipes too, thanks for asking so I can get more ideas too.

Love seeing all the ways to fix chicken!

You might try Chicken Parisian
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/24786/s...en-parisienne/

This can be baked in the oven or in the slow cooker. Wonderful over rice.

You probably have this recipe, so many people I know make this. We all take Campbell mushroom, celery or cream of chicken soup and cover the chicken breast, bake for 1 hour and it's delicious. I serve it with mashed potatoes and the soup makes a great gravy. I have used other off brand soups and find it is more salty than Campbell soup.

Another recipe: Cut 4 chicken breasts into cubes and cook in butter till done. Boil a package of egg noodles and add chicken breast cubes. I use a jar of Alfredo sauce (any flavor) and one jar of milk. Mix together and it's great. You can add extras if you want, but it's very good by itself.

I have 2 family favorite chicken recipes.

One is Cheesy Mexican Chicken, the second is Chicken & Pasta.

If you are interested in either or both of these let me know and
I will post them this weekend.

My favorite is Salsa Chicken, if you can handle taco seasoning and mild salsa, it's not spicy. Boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips. The entire frozen 2-4 lb bag, roll in taco seasoning, place in 9 x 12 casserole dish and cover with mild salsa. Bake until done. Test with thermometer, the salsa covers any pink meat. At the last 4-5 minutes sprinkle on shredded cheese till it melts. Serve over shredded lettuce with plain greek yogurt. It's a weight watchers recipe. The only thing you have to watch out for is putting on too much salsa. The salsa adds salt and condenses when being baked to make a yummy sauce.

I don't think 15 minutes is long enough to cook chicken. But this does sound good.

In a bowl mix cream cheese 8 oz., 2 chopped green onions ,4 or so chopped mushrooms, 1 teasp garlic powder or 1 clove minced garlic. 1 Tbsp. worchestershire sauce. stir and pack into each of 4 chicken breasts that has been sliced open almost through.(looks like a taco) sprinkle each chicken breast with onion powder and seasoning salt. Wrap 1 whole slice of bacon around each breast.Lay in a foil lined baking dish.Bake uncovered at 350* for about 20-25 minutes. Poor on some bbq sauce and grated swiss cheese. and bake another 5- 10 minutes till done. Very simple and tastes sooo fancy. Good luck.

DH's fav is oven fried chicken,but he likes this too. Goes with any side.

Quilty-Louise - I would appreciate seeing your recipes!

Soupy Chicken

2 chicken breasts
1 can any "cream of" soup
2 can s of water
1 package Lipton onion soup mix
2small onions chopped

Spray 9x9" pan with "Pam" type oil. Pour in dry rice. Set breasts on top. Mix all other items in a separate dish, pour over rice/chicken. Bake 2 hours at 325. (I like to add thawed frozen vegetables on the chicken and rice, before soup mix, to make it dinner in a dish style.)

Sorry that is bake at 375 not 350. Also I like to pound the chicken then fill and roll it after slicing in half.

I think because the chicken is flattened and the temp is high that is why this recipe works....

Here is a link to a similar recipe that uses similar temps and times.... hope this helps. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/pesto-olive-chicken

CHEESY MEXICAN CHICKEN

1-2 BONELESS, SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST OR
CHICKEN BREAST TENDERLOINS PER PERSON
(or 4 for 2 people)
1 CAN CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP
1 BAG (16oz) SHREDDED CHEDDAR CHEESE
(set aside approx. 6-8oz cheese)
1 OR 2 PACKS OF TACO SEASONING MIX
3-4 CUPS MILK
1 to 1-1/2 BAGS FRITOS CORN CHIPS
1-2 BOXES RICE O RONI CHICKEN FLAVOR

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl mix ALL ingredients together, EXCEPT
for chicken, fritos corn chips and Rice o Roni.
Rinse chicken and remove any excess fat (if needed)
In 9x13 (or larger) baking pan use non stick spray on
sides and bottom.
Place chicken in baking dish, pour mixture over chicken
to cover completely. Pour fritos corn chips over top, cover
with foil and bake until chicken is done
(approx. 50-90 minutes depending on how much chicken is used)

Make Rice o Roni (according to directions)approx. 20-30min.
prior to chicken being done. Set aside.

When chicken is done remove foil from baking dish and sprinkle
remainder of cheese over top, place back in oven until melted.

Serve over the rice (Rice o Roni chicken flavor is a family favorite).

***CLEAN OVEN TIP***
Prevent the mess I usually make and place baking dish on a cookie
sheet, lined with parchment paper. I sometimes forget to do this and
end up with a mess in the bottom of the oven to clean.

1 can cream of chicken soup mixed with 1 pkg. dry ranch dressing. Pour over chicken breasts (not frozen) in crockpot. Serve on mashed potatoes or cooked noodles.

Okay, I would never cook chicken from frozen but when DSIL was in hospital, a neighbour brought over a fabulous casserole made with leftover chicken--a cup or two of chopped cooked chicken, some frozen veggies thawed (or leftovers) a can of cream of chicken soup. (and when I tried to replicate it I added about a cup of shredded cheese) Put all in a casserole and put in a 400 degree oven for about 1/2 hour to heat thru. Then top with a cup of bisquicik mixed to the package directions and bake for the required time. OMG it was fabulous!! The DGkids ate their "I don't like that" words!!

My family loves this one!
Buttermilk Chicken
3-4 boneless skinless breast
4 TBS butter
flour seasoned with salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, divided
1 can cream of chicken soup

Preheat oven to 375
melt butter in 9x13 baking dish
cut breasts into 4-5 pieces
dip chicken in 1/2 cup buttermilk, then in flour and place in pan
bake 40 minutes
mix can of soup and remaining 1 cup buttermilk, warm up 2-3 minutes in microwave and pour over chicken
bake about 20 minutes more

serve with rice or noodles

Tastes great leftover! I thaw out frozen breasts in buttermilk And then discard the buttermilk. The buttermilk tenderizes the chicken.

I have put in a baking dish , layer the chicken , swiss cheese then cover with stuffing. I poured a can of cream of chicken diluted with 1/2 a can of water. Baked at 350 for about 45 minutes.

That looks good. Skinneytaste has a lot of great recipes. I'm tempted to try the pickle juice marinated chicken tenders.

I put frozen chicken breasts (about three) in a crock pot with a can of chicken broth and cook for about 4-6 hours. The most tender and tasty chicken you will ever have. I cook beef and pork this way also. I use beef broth for the beef and pork. I toss the broth when done, it could be made into gravy.

I have not tried this yet but plan on doing it this week. I was watching Home and Family which was filmed live at Dollywood last week. Dolly gave the recipe for her fried chicken sandwiches sold at the park. Of course I won't be frying the chicken breast but grilling it. The chicken is marinated in PICKLE JUICE for 4 - 6 hours (she stressed no more than 6 hours!). Then, to do the frying, the drained chicken pieces are dredged in several coatings (combinations of egg and pickle juice, then a combination of flour and powdered sugar -- ratio of 10-1). I will be trying just the marinating process with the pickle juice. I always keep leftover pickle juices to be used over salads or in making vinaigrettes. AT the moment I have bread and butter pickle juice available in the fridge.

Just noticed that quiltbuddy mentioned using pickle juice as a marinade.

i like to roll mine in canola oil season roll in panko and bake next day use left over for salad

For bone in chicken breasts I have something that is stupid easy.

All you do is sprinkle all over with Goya Seasoning(the one with cumin-it has a green lid)and bake for an hour at 375.

I make rice a roni and fresh steamed broccoli to go with it.

(Chicken and broccoli is a good anti cancer combo BTW)
